Right-wing journalist Ian Miles Cheong recently sparked controversy on X (formerly Twitter) by revealing that the U.S. government has provided tens of millions of dollars to The New York Times (NYT) over the past five years.
According to Cheong, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services was the largest contributor, providing $26.9 million, while the National Science Foundation followed with $19.15 million. Notably, the U.S. government allocated $4.1 million to the NYT in August 2024 alone.
Cheong raised concerns about this funding, suggesting that it was used to "prop up" a struggling newspaper that publishes content aligned with certain political agendas, such as pro-Ukraine, anti-Trump, and anti-Elon Musk narratives. He further claimed that the timing of this funding coincided with key political events, including the onset of the war in Ukraine and the 2024 U.S. presidential election cycle. To back his claims, Cheong posted screenshots of funding receipts from USAspending.gov, a government platform that tracks U.S. federal spending.

People need to go to jail
Well....who knew??? /s
Bye-bye NYTs
So just like Pravda was in the old Soviet Union, nothing more than a mouthpiece for Stalin and his successors...the NYT was a mouthpiece for the Biden Regime.
This is why, I’ve noticed, major news organs do not give a FIG about subscription numbers.
Here’s a test
How many FR Zeepers will suddenly disappear from this site?
funding from the SWAMP, providing the cookie cutter for all the news that’s fit to print.
You knew there was no way for them to stay in business based on their content.
Oh really now.
It’s all been a fraud...
"First, we beat the Soviet Union. Then we became them." Lazamataz, 2005
We are only 2 1/2 weeks into DOGE’s 18 month assignment.
FReepers are having so much fun that it is impossible to describe.
Go Elon Go!!!!!
It’s funny what emerges once the $ spigot gets turned off.
NYT: Hey where’s my money?
Taxpayers: Money?!
It has all been propaganda under the color of government.
‘if it walks, if it quacks like a duck, it’s probably a duck.’
the 4th estate turns out to be a 5th column.
Did Congress approve this funding? Now we know why they were able to stay in business.
“Right wing journalist”.
These people are so predictable.
Badly needed funds to assure a free press reports on what keeps the funds flowing. Guardrails in propaganda.
Proof that the media is government propaganda and why the shun alternative media. Cat’s out of the bag now.
Why? The Feds don’t subsidize Angel Soft to help drive the price of toilet paper down.
